Restaurant Villaggio in Wijk 00 Stad

We ate at the Villaggio today, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The food was exceptionally delicious—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you'd expect from a good Italian restaurant. The restaurant itself is also beautifully decorated, with great attention to detail and a cozy atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Special praise goes to our waiter, Sven: He was attentive, friendly, and accommodated all our requests. As a guest, you feel completely in good hands. Overall, everything was truly outstanding—we'd love to come back!

We had excellent lasagna and tiramisu.

Unfortunately, the service was very slow, even though the restaurant was barely busy. People who had arrived before us still hadn't had their food when we left. Ordering more drinks wasn't possible either, since no one came. I don't want to know what it's like when it's full. Prices, okay.

Second visit to this restaurant. Wonderful authentic Italian dishes. The service is very good and attentive.

It was just fantastic. Pizza superrrr fluffy.

Spaghetti carbonara. I've never had such dry spaghetti. Too bad. The staff is good.

The pasta was around 15 euros. The portion was good and the pasta was cooked, but the sauce was bland. You couldn't even put an ice cube in your drink.

We come here at least once a year when we're in the area. It has a great, cozy atmosphere and good service.

Very friendly service and really good food. Very good value for money. We were very pleasantly surprised and can only warmly recommend it! We'll definitely be back, even if the Fanta beer was a bit difficult to get 😉

Cream in the carbonara.. hard pass. Mixed grill was ok. Only venue to be open on Tuesday, so that's a plus.

The food was disgusting, the spaghetti was awful. We had three kinds of spaghetti, and all three were tasteless and unappetizing. We also had a lasagna that wasn't lasagna at all—lots of cheese and very little sauce. We pointed this out, and they said, "The sauce was pushed to the side." The issue wasn't resolved and wasn't removed from the bill. It was also very clear that the staff had finished with us very quickly. The staff were very rude; I would definitely not recommend going there. I've also read several other reviews, and they all say pretty much the same thing.

Very tasty, nice service, would go again 💯

There were a lot of staff but still had to wait a long time, had to ask a few times if we could order. Nice location but otherwise 0.0 appearance, unloving service, no eye for what is happening, dirty tables, take an order, but do not clear tables when new visitors arrive. In the toilets the refills for the soap dispenser holders were dumped, little effort to put them in the holder, then they work too. The pizza was quite okay, but given the whole entourage not worth repeating.

We visited this restaurant for lunch today. It was delicious, with generous portions and excellent service.

We come from the Randstad to the Achterhoek a few times a year and like to eat at this restaurant. Never disappointed. Excellent pizzas. Nice atmosphere. Nice contact with Meho.

In the town center...quite ok...

The warm welcome, the delicious food and the feeling that you are not being looked away from while you are still chatting at the table, makes Villagio one of my favourite restaurants.

Friendly service. Food was fine but not special. Wine was really tasty.

Am Samstag 10.05.2025 auf dem Markt in Winterswijk wollten wir etwas Essen und Trinken. Wir setzten uns in den Außenbereich ,wurden jedoch nicht von den Service Kräften beachtet. Ich machte mich bei einer bemerkbar und dieser nickte mir zu. Neue Gäste die nach uns kamen 2 Tische wurden Zeitnah bewirtet. Nach ca.10 Minuten Sprach ich einen anderen Mitarbeiter an, dieser ging jedoch weiter. Nach ca. 15 Minuten Sprach ich erneut die Servicekraft an ,bei der ich mich vorher bemerkbar machte. Das Essen war uns nun vergangen und wir bestellten Getränke. Der Mitarbeiter befand es jedoch nicht für notwendig den Tisch der Vorherigen Gäste abzuräumen und brachte ca. 5 Minuten Später die Getränke. Beim Zahlen machte ich darauf aufmerksam, dieses wurde nur damit abgetan das viel zu tun sei. Absolut mangelhaft. Besser noch keinen Stern ..

A nice and cozy restaurant and the food was delicious

The ribeye was nice, just not cut well with some tough pieces occasionally. Lots of balsamic vinegar all over the plate. The pasta was not very tasty. The tiramisu was very tasty. Music was a bit too loud.

Delicious food. A delicious fillet steak in red wine sauce. Good to see that there are more choices besides the good pasta and pizza. A cozy restaurant, friendly staff and large terrace.

Pleasant atmosphere. Very nice staff and very attentive. The food was very tasty. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The sauce was very flavorful. Everything fit. Very good 👍🏻

Cozy restaurant with an excellent kitchen. The Lasagne is in my top 3 also the other served was very tasty. Friendly service. So recommended.

The starter was perfect, but the spaghetti pesto was really not tasty,

Were there in the evening, service was very nice, quick and friendly. The lasagna was okay, the pizza was really good, thin base, good toppings, hot, tasty. Would come again...

Good italian food! Nice place in the centre

The two of us had a delicious meal here on a Saturday evening. Made use of the 3 course menu, all courses were beautifully prepared and well seasoned. Friendly staff, working with a smile, the girl who cleaned the tables worked hard and very neatly. The menus also felt fresh, unlike some restaurants... All in all a very positive experience.

Always nice to sit here. With a view over the market. The staff is extremely friendly. And always works with a smile. We like coming here and the food is delicious here. Sanitary facilities are always fresh.

Enjoyed a nice meal together with a social deal. I thought the food was good, the service always makes contact, which I always like. We were a bit in the dark and with 5 people at a 4-person table. But overall we had a nice evening.

Tried both lunch and dinner via social deal, had to wait a long time but no excuse... dinner was not warm and even though there was room outside we were not allowed to sit there. And then delete the review. Most here have no understanding of the catering industry and hospitality.

Onvriendelijk eten koud, mochten niet op het terras zitten omdat dit zogenaamd gereserveerd was, niet dus... en tijdens de lunch die ik al eerder geprobeerd had, oude kip en zalm met een donkere droge rand en hier een uur op moeten wachten

Reserved via social deal. Many ambiguities, ultimately a long wait for the next course and no more drinks.

First always nice and fresh. Like the peppers and mushrooms. The last time clearly from a jar. Very unfortunate

Welcoming restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. Enjoyed!

Excellent food but a pity that there is no soap to wash your hands, even after I asked the staff twice.

Found the restaurant via Googlemaps. We were given a very warm welcome and were lucky to get a table even without a reservation. The food was served promptly even though there was a lot to do. The pizzas were very, very tasty. I can more than recommend Pizza Calzone. The service was very attentive. Can't understand the criticism from other users that the service staff are young and inexperienced. Of course you can't do everything perfectly straight away, you just need experience. Would definitely go there again

Very long delivery time. Service lie. The food is of poor quality.

Als iemand met jarenlange ervaring in horeca en gastronomie - ook als gast -, laat ik me niet snel imponeren. Maar dit restaurant wist me compleet te verrassen! Vanaf het moment dat ik binnenkwam, voelde alles perfect aan. De bediening blonk uit in attentie en professionaliteit; zonder dat ik iets hoefde te vragen, kreeg ik niet alleen de lunchkaart, maar ook de dinerkaart aangereikt, een glas water naast mijn wijn, en zelfs onze hondjes werden verwend met een bakje water. Dit soort gastvrijheid is zeldzaam en maakt direct indruk. Het eten was een ware traktatie. De carpaccio was perfect op temperatuur en vol van smaak. De gegratineerde champignons met prosciutto en parmezaan crème waren ronduit onweerstaanbaar – ik weet zeker dat ik die bij een volgend bezoek weer bestel. Ook het pane della casa met dips en de spaghetti napoletana stelden absoluut niet teleur. Elk gerecht was een feestje voor de smaakpapillen. De warme, gezellige inrichting en de open houding naar onze hondjes toe maakten de ervaring compleet. Dit restaurant heeft niet alleen 5 sterren verdiend, maar ook een plekje in mijn hart. Wij komen met veel plezier terug!

To be honest, I am no longer easily impressed - due to years of experience - but what a wonderful surprise! The service was excellent. Without asking, in addition to the lunch menu, the dinner menu was also provided, water was served with my wine and our dogs were given water. Fantastic. Furthermore, the food was absolutely delicious; the carpaccio was tasty and at a good temperature, I will definitely order the gratinated mushrooms with prosciutto and parmesan cream again. The pane della casa with dips and the spaghetti napoletana; everything was excellent. All this and the cozy interior and the fact that our dogs were also welcome mean that I can only give 5 stars. We would love to come back again!

Had dinner here tonight, friendly staff. Fast service and the food was tasty. If it's not a good restaurant, why is it full??

We had one of the most tastiest plate. They have very friendly staff and the place is super cozy. Definitely recommend it

Very friendly staff. Outstanding hospitality. Nice space, music is not overpowering, clear menu. Excellent Chardonnay. However, the pasta aglio e olio did not blow me off my chair.

Smooth and courteous service and delicious food. We had 2 meat dishes (tenderloin and ribeye) that tasted excellent and were just above the average level of an Italian restaurant. Recommended!

Very tasty food, tasty rosé and friendly terms.

Food was very tasty, service was great! The boss was personally at the table and entertained the children 🙂

The antipathy for 2 people mainly consisted of parts from a jar. Even the olives looked like they came straight from an Aldi jar. The steak was very hard and chewy and the ribeye strips were burnt. Italian unworthy.

Good restaurant with good pizzas and pasta. The prices are also not too expensive here. Definitely coming here more often.

Nice restaurant with friendly people.

Definitely come back when we are in the area again. And our dog was allowed to come along. We had a very quiet corner.

Het slechtste restaurant in Winterswijk waar we tot nu toe hebben gegeten. Eten zelfs terug laten gaan. Slechte haas biefstuk ooit.

On the occasion of my mother's 75th birthday, my parents had invited the children and supporters for a weekend in Winterswijk. They thought it would be nice to have eight of us out for dinner at Villaggio. As a starter we ordered two baskets of bread with sauces. The warm, elongated, small rolls were delicious, but 14 euros for the two sparsely filled baskets with six small rolls each (maximum 1.5 per person) was quite pricey. It took at least twenty minutes before this starter was served. While serving, the waitress accidentally let the three bowls of sauces slide off one of the two plates and they ended up on my mother's blouse. Can happen. A cloth was brought and an apology was offered. My mother had two grease stains in her blouse. She indicated to the waitress that she was very sorry about her new blouse. No further attention was paid to this. After a while the main menu was served. People were not proactively asked who wanted to order a second round of drinks. We had to indicate this ourselves even though the drinking glasses were almost empty. One of our table companions had ordered a Gorgonzola pizza with salami. It had thick slices of sausage on it and the waitress called it a Chorizo ​​pizza. When we told her it had to be Gorgonzola with salami, she walked with the plate to the open kitchen, discussed it for a while and came back with the same plate and now called it a pizza Gorgonzola. No more word about the sausage which was clearly still Chorizo. When half of the table companions already had their main menu, it took too long before the other half got their food. The first group had to wait at least 5 minutes to start eating at the same time. One tablemate had ordered a salami pizza. The salami was spread over the pizza in triangular dots the size of each 1/4 salami slice. I had a pizza Diavolo: salami, bell pepper and chili peppers. Also here are the triangles of salami, but relatively very few. Paprika predominated. From a restaurant pizza you expect a somewhat crispy, thin base around the edges. At Villaggio, the pizzas are squishy with thicker, soft edges. Another table guest had ordered steak, medium done. The steak was far from medium, leaning more towards rare. The accompanying vegetables amounted to two cauliflower florets, a broccoli floret and a few carrots. The potatoes were about five potato wedges. All this on a large plate of €23, which is too expensive for my taste for what was on the plate. Finally, during checkout, I told another waitress and a man who seemed more 'in charge' about the incident with the sauces on my mother's new blouse and the fact that there was no discussion about how to handle this . The two employees initially seemed sympathetic, nodded in agreement, said that this was not possible and I expected a correction of this indifference. However, there was only one more 'sorry' and the man joked that I could bring a few extra mints for the departing group. No responsibility was taken for the damage caused. The consistently negligent handling of this situation by three employees in a row was downright disrespectful and unprofessional. I see more comments about this restaurant in customer reviews on this and other sites. I also see the determination with which these reviews are countered in some places by the restaurant owners with every now and then a smart-aleck sneer back at the reviewer. This fits in with the overall image of disrespect and unprofessionalism that we also felt at Villaggio. Next time we will definitely walk one door further for a better Italian dining experience in a restaurant where they know how to keep an eye on the customer when it is extra necessary.

Van een gezellig avondje uit was geen sprake. Het eten was prima maar er liep een medewerkster rond waar je niet vrolijk van werd. Wat een chagrijn zeg. Leek wel of er onderling iets speelde, maar ga het dan uitpraten en belast niet de gasten er mee. Voor ons dus geen tweede keer eten daar.

An unprofessional place with unfriendly staff. Firstly, we had to wait an hour for our food. No apologies while other guests, who came in later than us and ordered, quickly had their food on the table. And about the food... the pasta carbonara was dripping with grease and so was the pasta pesto. When I reported this to the kitchen, they indicated that this was pasta water with fat and oil, and they thought that was very normal. No apologies, not even when we indicated again that we did not like the food. I have attached photos, it was inedible. The thick mess of fat and oil on the bottom completely destroyed my appetite. If you look carefully at the other reviews from guests who are also dissatisfied, you will see that this restaurant also responds very unkindly and unprofessionally. In short, if you are looking for a restaurant with gross food, slow and unfriendly staff, then this is the place for you!

I have visited better Italian restaurants. And the toilet group was simply dirty and needed to be replaced.

We tasted the Napoli pizza and the vegetarian pizza. DELICIOUS 😊 We were just in Italy for a dinner. What a pleasure 💯💚🤍❤ The staff is very friendly. We'll be back tonight 🥳

Worst porn star martini ever and the most expensive, for 12.95, I am a connoisseur myself, ordered pork tenderloin, only received 5 pieces of +/_ 0.5 cm thick and 3 cm in diameter € 22.95 not normal, garnish 6 wedges of potatoes, 2 snack carrots, 2 cauliflower florets (just put raw on the grill). The tenderloin tips were supposed to pass for tenderloin, but in my opinion it was just steak.

Reserved in advance. The dog was allowed to come along, but we had to report it. Had a lovely meal here and really enjoyed the atmosphere and how tasty the food was. Asked here and there for some advice regarding food, but they were happy to help even though it was really busy. Because of the crowds we had to wait maybe 4 minutes longer, but it was really worth it! Delicious and would definitely eat here again when we are in Winterswijk.

Good food and a nice place to sit

I had a mix dish. We sat on the terrace outside. Took a very long time before someone came to take the order. She asks what kind of sauces we want. She comes with completely different sauces. The shawarma had little taste. I requested chicken fillet instead of chicken dönor, which was neatly arranged. The chicken fillet that came with it also had little taste unfortunately. The place is nicely decorated. Not a second time here for us

Delicious food, friendly service, good value for money, food combinations also possible.

De meest bastaardplaats die ik ooit heb bezocht. Bestelde Napolitaanse pizza en pasta. Ze brachten een stuk zout en pasta met verbrande groenten. cocktail met limonchelo is een complete teleurstelling. ga nooit naar dit etablissement!

Cosy place in the middle of the town. Nice & friendly people, good for familly, pet friendly. Fast serving and delicious food. Strongly recomeded! 1 star minus for the toilet, that need attention.

Very friendly staff. nice place. Cake and coffee top

Had a lovely meal with my son last Sunday. He opted for the pasta bolognese and really liked it (he is a picky eater), pizza with anchovies, olives and capers which was also very good. There is more than enough choice for everyone, in my opinion, with friendly prices. Service was good, very friendly and the various staff members made time for a chat with my son. An extra compliment to the lady who helped us most of the time 🏆 for the following: There was a lady at the table next to us with three people who was incredibly unreasonable and did everything she could to upset her. It didn't work out because she remained very professional, friendly, kept thinking along and even giving advice, but it all fell on deaf ears.

We had to wait more than an hour for our food, the staff reacted completely disinterested. Food was super basic, a huge let down from a place.

Helaas teleurstellende ervaring. Soep was veel te zout. Mixed grill aangebrand en zoutloos. Als compensatie een kopje koffie na gehad

Drinks came quite quickly. I ordered the goat cheese but got something with fish in return. Fortunately fast service and my salad got goat's cheese. Sadly drenched in balsamic vinegar and with tough dried tomatoes. Tried to eat but balsamic ruined it. My friend's pasta also had an insect on the bottom, so it was discovered in the kitchen. Definitely not an Italian restaurant! Better find something else that has better quality!

Unfortunately a bad experience. Soup was way too salty and therefore inedible. Mixed grill overcooked/burnt and saltless. As compensation, a cup of coffee after the meal.

The service was excellent. The food was tasty, but there was still room for improvement, the dishes were not original, which we had hoped for in an Italian restaurant (Carbonara with cream and not guanchale, the eggplant in the Parmigiana not mottled). In addition, the portions were unfortunately rather small.

Food was good but not enough, with the steak four half pieces of potato. You can't order fries because they don't have fries. Then I ordered a baguette with herb butter. Too bad, again the food is good but make sure you are not too hungry when you go there.

Soup was too salty. Carpaccio stuck to the plate. Pesto pasta barely had any flavor and certainly no pesto flavor. The pizza was quite pale and limp, not well done. When the table was cleared, we were asked if we had enjoyed everything. We immediately linked back to what we thought of the food. This was passed on, but then we were looked away and were no longer asked if we wanted dessert.

Tomato soup was too salty, carpaccio was already streaked on the plate and stuck, pizza was not cooked properly. After reporting it to the waitress, we were turned away and we didn't hear anything from the chef that evening.

Very tasty food, friendly service, nice atmosphere, prices reasonable! I can only recommend!

Cozy and casual atmosphere. Excellent food and friendly staff

Great location in the town center with nice outdoor spaces. The service was very friendly. Unfortunately, my fillet tips were not tasty and a little tough. My wife's chicken was ok.

Winterswijk, cozy market atmosphere, drink coffee here and have a delicious meal in the evening

Bediening is vriendelijk maar laat soms op zich wachten. Het eten viel erg tegen. Traditionele Italiaanse gerechten worden niet goed bereid. De vitello tonatto met toefjes tonijnmayonaise in plaats van een tonijnsaus. De salade caprese met een bol (in plaats van plakjes) mozzarella, zeer rijkelijk overgoten met een balsamico saus en slechts 1 blaadje basilicum. De lasagne had iets te lang in de oven gestaan waardoor de lasagne vellen iets papperig waren geworden. En de parmigiana was erg zoet (suiker?) en had ook een onaangename scherpe smaak. En de omvang van de gerechten is groot maar dat komt waarschijnlijk omdat de Duitse gasten dat graag willen. Wij komen hier niet meer terug.

Chose the antipasto for 2 people as a 'starter', we had already eaten (almost) enough with this, very tasty!

Canteen food for a lot of money... In other words... all the tomato sauce from the bucket on every dish, the same... Last time I ate here Professional answer also by this canteen manager..👌

Ate delicious pasta. Plates are well filled.

After an afternoon of shopping in Winterswijk we had a delicious meal here (last week). The restaurant is located on a pleasant square with many more restaurants. So plenty of choice. Chose "Ristorante Villaggio" because of the previous good reviews. Contrary to previous reports, we did not have to wait long before we were served. The restaurant is clean, the dishes are affordable, the staff is friendly and helpful. Here the door is even held open for you. My wife opted for a pizza with salmon which tasted great. The base was also nice and crispy, but not TOO. I opted for "Spaghetti Carbonara". Nice and creamy and perfect in taste. In my opinion, highly recommended. A little extra sprinkle of cheese was no problem. Chose Tiramisu for dessert. You can almost eat your fingers with that. 😉 If we are in Winterswijk, we will definitely come back here.

Fast, friendly and correct service. Food was fine. The tuna was well prepared, but the quality of the tuna could be better.

Very nice staff, pizza excellent, cannelloni portion a bit too small

Great nice restaurant, good food and nice staff. What else do you want? Highly recommended.

If Checco stopped by to eat at this restaurant….. at the end of the dinner he would have asked for a ladder and a screwdriver!!!

Nice Italian restaurant. Dinner via Social Deal. Very nice deal for a 3 course dinner. Tasty food of good quality. Service was fast and excellent.

Ate there via Social deal, delicious food for a great price!

We had to wait 1 hour for our starter (bread with herb butter) and 2 hours for our food. Main courses were very bad for a total of 4 out of 4 people. In two dishes everything was cold, the meat was either way too cooked or way too raw. The vegetables weren't even seasoned with salt. Starter and service was great. Overall, far too expensive for the quality. Would not recommend.

Waited for 1 hour for food Pizza was cold Antipasti bread was great Would never go there again.

TL;DR I didn’t make a reservation, but waiting for a table was worth it. After being seated the friendly crew indulged us for hours. Even though the house was full, they remained capable of running their program smootly. Great people, great kitchen, great evening. and…….Bitcoin paymens via lightning are accepted here! That’s worth bonuspoints.

We had such a delicious meal, fantastic, and it was difficult to choose, so much choice. Good atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Excellent food, but the meat dishes were a bit lacking in accompaniments. I had a dish that would also contain cherry tomatoes. But apparently they were gone. Furthermore, a carrot in the length. I expected a bit more for that price.

Très agréable restaurant italien avec des pizzas excellentes et un accueil professionnel et sympathique par une serveuse qui parle anglais !

Yesterday's dinner at the Villagio turned into a nightmare, primarily because of the rotten, not-good-smelling tuna on the fish platter. The three shrimps and the small piece of salmon were fried to death, but edible, at least. Half of the potatoes were also burnt. The caprese without any olive oil contained half a ball of mozzarella with a rubbery consistency. The tagliatelle with pesto and tomatoes was simply an unseasoned cream sauce with two chunks of tomatoes in it. We pointed out that the tuna was no longer edible, but the waitress told us that the boss said: The tuna is "still" good!? The only real praise goes to the incredibly nice, attentive service staff. Never again!!!

Delicious food, highly recommended

We had a delicious and cheap meal this evening via Social Deal! Atmosphere was good and we were received and treated kindly. The grilled chicken was delicious and definitely recommended!

Ate here via social deal. Delicious food for a good price.

Delicious food, wide choice. Friendly staff

We ate a lunch menu via Social Deal because we ended up in the east of the country. Friendly staff, food was delicious. Will come back soon.
